UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

G. R. MOBEHOUSE, OF GARDINGTON, OHIO.

IMPROVEMENT IN CHURNS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 51,073, dated November21, 1865.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, C. It. lVIOREHOUSE, of Gardington, in the county ofMorrow and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Ohurns; and I do hereby declare that the followingis afull and complete description of the construction and operation of thesame, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part ofthis specification, in which Figure l is a perspective View of thechurn. Figs. 2 and 3 are views of the dasher.

Like letters of reference refer to like parts in the views.

My improvement relates to churns, as hereinafter described.

A, Fig. 1, represents the ease of the churn, that is of a square form,but it can be any desired shape. From the sides extend up standards B,between which there is an adjustable cross-piece, B, in which the upperend of the shaft 1) of the heaters has its bearing. This cross piece,when adjusted in place in the standards, is secured by a button, B.

a is a pulley on the upper end of the shaft D, on which there is a belt,E, that extends round a drivingpulley, (J, on which there is a crank, E,with a handle, F, whereby the Wheel is turned revolving the shaft D. Thedrivingwheel 0 is on a shaft, 0', connected to the frame A of the churn.

G is the lid or cover of the churn, made in two parts or sections, thatcome together in a line with the middle of the shaft, either or both ofwhich can readily be removed.

The construction of the dasher or beater-s is shown in Figs. 2 and 3,and consists of an oblong piece, H, solid through the center, as at I),and the ends or Wings H are cut out in tapering angular throats K, asrepresented, formed by the upper portion of the wings being inclineddownward in opposite directions, making the distance from c to e onopposite sides narrow, and from c to 6 wide, across which are bars 0,forming breakers. The under part, h, of the wings is inclined upwardfrom each side, the inclination being longer from one side than theother, as seen at L in Fig. 3, which is a view of one end. The outerends of the throats can be closed, as shown at L, by a piece, I, fittingin between the planes, as represented. The bars cacross the wide sidesor ends of the throats, can be dispensed with, if desired. The oppositecorners of the heaters are rounded olf, as shown at b. The position ofthe heaters when in the churn is near the bottom, and as the shaftrevolves, from the peculiar construction of the heaters, the milkstriking against the sides and breakers 0 and passing through thethroats is agitated so as to ehurnit in a short time.

What I'claim as my improvement, and de' sire to secure by LettersPatent, is-

The dasher, with tapering angular throats K, extending from each side ofthe shaft, when constructed, as described, either separately or combinedwith the breakers c and churn, when constructed in the manner herein setforth.
